Florida Man Uses Stand Your Ground Defense in Killing of Black Teen Over Loud Music

[spin]

47. The media often makes it difficult to hold a fair trial. A high publicity case can get ...

24/7 coverage on the cable networks and attention on even the morning talk programs on the three alphabet networks.

You may be right that if Dunn walks some in Florida will feel empowered to confront minority citizens. However I feel that this guy will end up in prison. For one thing he left the scene and didn't bother to call the cops about the shooting. But he did call from a hotel room to order pizza.

This is where the loud music murder trial earns its name. While Dunn waited in his vehicle he became annoyed by the heavy bass booming from a nearby SUV and asked the four teens to turn it down. While they did comply, the situation escalated quickly into an argument in which Dunn says he was verbally harassed with death threats. When Dunn felt threatened by what he thought was a single barreled shotgun, he pulled a 9mm gun from his glove compartment and fired four times into the SUV:

“I was still scared and so I shot four more times… trying to keep their heads down to not catch any return fire. And that was it. I went over this a million times, and what I should’ve done is put the car in reverse. It was fight or flight. I don’t think there was any time for flight at that moment. I was going to get shot.”

Dunn then picked up his girlfriend, fled the scene to their hotel room, and ordered pizza… all without notifying police about the shooting. Dunn claims he was waiting until he reached his home in Brevard County, which was another 130 miles south. He said he wanted to have friends around him and was afraid of bringing a “s**tstorm” down on them in Jacksonville.(...emphasis added)

The jury will probably question why he didn't bother to contact the local police immediately after the incident.

I correctly predicted that Zimmerman would walk and now I predict both Dunn and the ex-cop that overreacted to thrown popcorn will end up in prison.

Time will tell if I am right.
